If you change the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 3:2 or 1:1, will the VF-3 viewfinder reflect this?

I'll have to check (I'm not close to my camera at the moment). I think it does....I think it does everything that the back display does....in fact to me the viewfinder is much clearer. I'll check and post a response here.

So I finally got around to checking on the aspect ratio question. The VF-3 definitely reflects the change. In fact, it does everything that the view screen does. About the only wonky thing I could find is that if you're in the automatic setting and you're using the viewfinder, when you select the menu button, the menu comes up on the back screen, not in the viewfinder. But if you're in any of the other shooting settings via the dial (manual, aperture priority, etc) and you choose to change the shooting mode via the "OK" button, the in-screen options lists pop-up within the viewfinder. Again, the viewfinder is pretty awesome! So I finally got around to checking on the aspect ratio question. The VF-3 definitely reflects the change.

YES! If you look at a rear photo of camera you will notice a eyelevel viewfinder. It is not of the opitical type , but like a video camera (a very high pixel image).

There are picture "mode" settings under the main menu. Some of the choices (from memory) are automatic, 16:9, cinema, and 4:3. Just change it to what looks best for each input or select automatic.

Yes, but you'll only be able to use it in DX mode. In FX, it will vignette at wide angle.

if you videotape vertically the video will also be vertical, as it is an HD device and therefore its native aspect ratio is a 16:9 rectangle. it does not change the orientation of the video later on (like a phone does.)

I seriously doubt it - it't not meant to crop or change the field of view, just to give your photos/videos better contrast in sunlight. I usually remove the prop images in post, but it's usually only on photos (being 4:3 aspect ratio).

From the menu select the setup screen and go down to page 4/6 and you will see an option labeled TV Aspect, you can change to the 4:3 aspect there.

Do you mean always used in 16:9? Also you can configure for 4:3 apect ratio

Yes, look at the back panel and then press EVF/LCD BUTTON, TOP BUTTON, then cycle through whichever setting you want. It's either view finder or LCD screen.

Yes, you change from hd mode to standard, then you switch from 16:9(widescreen) to 4:3(full screen) shooting.

Yes. Whatever is being watched can be converted and then the 3D depth can be changed. Definetly worth buying.

I think the difference is in the lens. In the V-lux 3, the aperture narrows as focal length increases. In the 4, I believe it remains at the set value. I haven't found the change in aperture to be a problem. The Leica website will confirm this, if I am right.

That is correct. the camera does have a viewfinder, which doesn't line up 100%, so I don't often use it.

I have not actually measured my evf viewfinder but it seems "normal" sized to me. The main concern is that you must manually turn it on to use it whereas my Sony came on automatically when your eye got close.

it depends on the design of the lens. It won't affect the image quality though.

You will have to adjust your telephoto out to get past outer edge of your lens. You will see the correct picture format on your view screen.
